Here is part of my dhcpd.conf:
---begin---
option domain-name "my.domain.pl";
option domain-name-servers dns1.my.domain.pl, dns2.my.domain.pl;
ddns-update-style none;
max-lease-time 86400;
default-lease-time 14400;

### failover configuration seats here ###

shared-network lab_013_019 {
   authoritative;
   max-lease-time 86400;
   default-lease-time 43200;

   subnet 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
     option routers 10.10.10.1;
     option broadcast-address 10.10.10.31;
     option domain-name-servers 10.10.12.30, 10.10.11.30;

     pool {
       failover peer "ict";
       deny dynamic bootp clients;
       range 10.10.10.21 10.10.10.25;
       range 10.10.10.28 10.10.10.30;
       allow unknown clients;
       option routers 10.10.10.1;
       option domain-name-servers 10.10.11.2, 10.10.12.30;
       max-lease-time 3600;
       default-lease-time 900;
     }
   }
}


host kangoo     {
   hardware ethernet 00:14:22:E0:CE:3F;
   fixed-address kangoo;
}
---end---

Before modifications pool stetment was just behind brace closing subnet 
stetment, host ceclarations were located in subnet statement. Now after 
global statements come set od shared-network declarations (with 
corresponding subnets within them), then host declaration are included.

There are no such directives in my configuration.
I can't find in the manual what is default behavior, if host
is known (has "host" statement) and asks for IP from outside of it's own 
segment. I cant't check it now, but maybe "allow known-clients;" is 
required to allow assigning dynamic IP for known hosts.

I've just noticed, that in manual there is dash ("-") in the middle of
"unknown-clients", but server doesn't complain about it and it is 
working...
